LONDON, March 25. — In the Old Bailey today, the recorder, Sir Charles Hall, in charging the grand jury, referred to the libel proceedings instituted by Mr. Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry. He said that if the Marquis wrote the words which it is claimed he did upon the card produced, whether he was justified or not in so doing, it constituted a libel. Moreover, the recorder added, the defendant intended to plead justification as his defense. The grand jury eventually returned a true bill against the Marquis.
